Instead of brushing it off, Annie responded by saying to her mum: “Mumma, you are beautiful just like me.

“You have beautiful brown eyes and big curly hair. I have beautiful brown eyes and straight hair... We’re different and the same at the same time!

“We’re both beautiful.”

Alaya said she teared up hearing her daughter’s words and then smothered her with kisses.

“After this interaction with her, I promised her we’d take more pictures together,” the mum explained.

“Your children don’t care what you look like, they simply want to be with you in the same picture.

“So stop thinking: ‘I’ll be in the picture after I lose seven pounds’ or ‘after my acne clears up’ or ‘once I get these braces off my teeth’ because the more you try to avoid pictures, the more you may regret it in the future.”

The call for mums to have more photos with their kids has been brought up before.
